Health & Safety

We prioritise the Health and Safety of an individual, whether this is an employee or a general member of the public. This is reflected in our company’s low level of incidents.

Our Company Policy enforces health & safety as a priority 

“Safety is a core and fundamental management responsibility but also promoted as a responsibility for all.  ‘Don’t walk by’ is the motto for all of our employees.  We promote an atmosphere where all concerns regarding the safety, health and welfare of our employees are listened to and addressed where necessary.”

The procedures we follow to enforce this priority: 

• Implement site specific safety and health plans, safe systems of work (SSWPs), method statements, risk assessments and permits for various types of work on all our sites

• Inspections of all sites on a regular basis by designated Safety Officers as well as Site Management

• Site Inductions for all persons on commencement of their works

• Regular tool box talks
